I am not sure what I am doing wrong here

What is wrong with my code? The error message says second <a> attribute "pies.html" is missing.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lists and Links</title>
  </head>
  <body>
  <ul>
    <a href="cakes.html"><li>Cakes</li></a>
    <a href="pies.html"><li>Pies</li></a>
    <a href="candy.html"><li>Candy</li></a>
    </ul> 
  </body>
</html>

So you're very close, but I think the challenge wants your anchor tags encased within the list items.. I went ahead and gave you an example.

<li><a href="cakes.html">Cakes</a></li>

I would second this opinion... also I would personally do it this way all the time so that the list tag itself becomes the anchor...I would think that it may get confusing if after <ol> / <ul> it finds anchor tags first before the list tag
